“I would regularly listen and download these Podcasts, but now they have bordered on filler, perhaps its an age thing, but, I struggle to find the humour in most of these. Perhaps due to my age I am losing touch, but some of these "comedians" are using material I did not find funny when I...”Read full review »

“Can I have a refund on my license please?
I managed 8 minutes of ‘we forced a bot to write this show’ and I think I did well.
Total rubbish, no doubt.”

“This is supposed to be comedy- where is the comedy utter dross and should be put in the bin before broadcast”

“Recently Nora Roberts was great with droll snippets. The four previous episodes were mostly lacking.
There is 60 seconds of commercials to skip at start and more at end.
I recommend giving each episode 1-2 minutes and quitting if not yet zinging. None seem to progressively improve.”

“Sometimes the comedy on here is not for me, but that’s life. I don’t expect to love everything! I came back to the App yesterday and heard ‘I don’t know what to say’, ‘Your place or mine with Nadia Hussain’ and today I listened to ‘The Best Medicine’. I really liked these shows. They were...”Read full review »

“News quiz and dead ringers do a great job at challenging the current decision makers. Just a minute, I'm sorry i haven't a clue very sharp. BBC radio is world class. Radio 4/5”s/6 reasons to be positive about the UK media.”Read full review »

“As the format suggests, it is a very mixed bag of content. Some things I find very funny and brilliant some content is not for me. On the whole a podcast I’m looking for every week.”

“Just a Minute is outstanding. The News Quiz and Dead Ringers can be good at times but both have a strong left wing bias these days. The others tend to be pretty poor. More Just a Minute please.”

“The Mark Steel shows aside, the vast majority of these are absolutely woeful. If a fiver of taxpayer’s money has been spent on them, then it’s a waste. If this is what passes for comedy these days, then God help us (other forms of saviour are available, as this is the BBC)”

“I listen to this every week. A bit variable but as everones sense of humour is different that is fine. However, the inane introduction every week is not funny, not entertaining and is totally unnecessary. Please cut it out.”

“Only upon looking at the details was I aware it was a comedy. To be a comedy it must be funny. Is this worthy and better than the rest to claim a broadcast spot?”

“I’m now of an age where I find it increasingly difficult to find “funny” things amusing. I’ve effectively given up on comedies as a film genre, and there is increasingly less on TV that gets my juices flowing. Nice, then, to discover this. Thank you, dearest Aunty.”

“Tired monologue complaining about gentrification in his street while stressing his working class credentials. Each feeble gag is interspersed with unconvincing canned laughter, that soon begins to grate like nails on a blackboard. Even though I was doing the washing up at the time I had to quit...”Read full review »

“The bbc used to produce amazing comedy. What happened?!? Seems to be politically correct boring tosh now. Comedians are clearly not being selected on ability but for other reasons. I gave it a good go but it’s unbearable. And I support the BBC so I’m it a “bbc basher”.”
